- “Doesn’t anybody bloody knock anymore!?”
- “My publicist told me I needed more exposure.”
- Just working on the ol’ solo act.
- “You call *this* a lewd act? Compared to the first Wham! tour??”
- Accidentally gave himself that “I want your sex” look in the mirror.
- “Your strange foreign ways confuse me… Now look at my butt!”
- “Is it my fault I’m the only person good-looking enough to date me?”
- Original title of “I Want Your Sex” was “I Want Your Sex In The Men’s Room of Will Rogers Park, Beverly Hills, California and If You Don’t Show Up On Time I’m Starting Without You.”
- “Hey, why should that Milli Vanilli guy get all the attention?”
- “I just couldn’t pass up a chance to look at me bum. It’s PERFECT!”
